John Legend – Penthouse Floor (Video) Ft. Chance The Rapper

John Legend and Chance The Rapper links up to drop Penthouse Floor visuals. In the video, Legend plays a hotel employee who works at a stunning, high end establishment. On the inside, the ostentatious decor paints a clear picture of wealth and status, and, in a somewhat on-the-nose display, one of the hotel’s guests is wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hot. Meanwhile, on the outside looking in, a protest rages on. Signs reading “the future is female,” and “black lives matter” are thrust in security’s face, as Legend delivers a clear message on the current social divide. It’s a strong message from Legend, even if the delivery feels a little devoid of subtlety. Still, these are intense times, where the art of subtle messaging is so often cast aside.
